take my wife on a cruise for our 30th wedding anniversary

Yep. This one happened a year plus a few months past our 30th wedding anniversary, but we took off for a week to cruise the western Carribean. The cruise was very nice. We did it on our terms this time: never sat for a scheduled dining room meal, slept a whole lot, skipped one port visit completely, read numerous books, and gained only 3 pounds. Ahhhh, nice!

An opportunity to travel to Ukraine on a mission trip within a few weeks of our 30th wedding anniversary put this one on hold…it wasn’t much of a celebration, but it was certainly a blessing. We are taking an unusual (for us) break in early October to celebrate our 30th and 31st anniversaries on a week-long cruise. I know that it will be worth it!

into a trip to Ukraine with a wonderful group of college athletes on a mission trip. It was a longgggg way from the comforts that a cruise ship offers, but emotionaly and spiritually it was a great celebration of 30 years of marriage.
